My Favourite DIY Detox Baths

There are plenty of ways to detox our bodies with saunas, baths, scrubs and body brushing and even teas. My favourite way to detox is a hot bath with either one of my 3 choice products – Lavender & Oatmeal Bath Soak , Baking Soda Wash And Rose Hip & Hibiscus Bath Salts. You could go and purchase a fancy box filled with pretty smelling detox bath ingredients but they also may contain some chemicals that you don’t want it your bath OR you could make my 3 favourites yourself. Many of the ingredients that I use, you will probably already have in your pantry or bathroom. Now don’t forget that while the bath detox ritual will be relaxing, most detox baths make your body temperature rise and make you very hot. In most cases you will be sweating throughout your bath and will probably keep sweating for about 30minutes afterwards, so don’t forget to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of filtered water.
